Atlantis The Palm, Dubai's latest and possibly greatest luxury hotel, water is an ornament and a plaything.
It's the latest word in Gulf excess - a sprawling $US1.5 billion ($A1.8 billion) resort boasting a $US25,000 ($A30,044.50)-a-night suite and dolphins flown in from the South Pacific, all atop a palm tree-shaped island.
Inspired by the legend of the lost continent, the resort offers "experiences that are new to the Middle East," said its president and managing director Alan Leibman.
The Atlantis hotel's ornate lobby with glass fountain. 
"Aquaventure", a water playground of over 18 million litres of water, is accessible to visitors for prices ranging from A$64 for children to A$75 for adults.
The waterscape features water slides with names such as "Leap of Faith", including two which catapult riders through shark-filled lagoons.
Atlantis' marine habitat will be stocked with thousands of marine animals and include a "Dolphin Bay".
For the moment, the Atlantis shares the Jumeira Palm Island only with rows of high-end houses and construction sites. But other international names are set to move in.. Source
